Romy Seleccion, MS, EV, Pastor Rev. Michael Sturn, Parochial Vicar Rev. Joseph Pilotin, MS, Parochial Vicar Deacon Paul Von Ins, Pastoral Associate Deacon Pat Martinez, Deacon Tony Moralez Tacie Adams, Parish Business Manager Dear Holy People of God: “Gratitude is the memory of the heart,” so, for all of you who made the Episcopal Visitation of Bishop Barnes to our parish, St. Paul the Apostle on September 1st, 9th and 10th, we say – “A MILLION THANKS!” Although there are recommendations to work on to make the parish as a “visible sign of God’s love,” Bishop Barnes described our parish by quoting one of the surveys received by him, which says: “The parish is home!” That says a lot about us as a parish. That phrase is a vitamin for our hearts. Today’s gospel, Jesus tells us the drama of forgiveness that we should practice in our lives: Peter asked Jesus, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus answered, “I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.” The times we must forgive is told to us in number, “not seven times but seventy-seven times.” Number seven indicates perfection; it is synonymous to “always” or “forever.” But Jesus went beyond what was required by law, he eliminated all barriers that blocked the spirit of forgiveness, that when we forgive, it must be from the heart, and it must be overflowing. If forgiveness is from the heart, it is then a story of love - it is unconditional. This is the reason why Jesus made forgiveness the centerpiece of our faith. So, our mission this week is: be a forgiving person by practicing the eight beatitudes of forgiveness: Forgiveness is not easy; it takes time and strength of character. Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a constant attitude. Forgiveness is not denial; it is saying, “I am sorry, I love you”. Forgiveness is not destructive; it is rebuilding relationship. Forgiveness ensures conversion. Forgiveness recognizes that people are more important than their faults. Forgiveness is giving us another chance to make a new beginning. Forgiveness is allowing us to love forevermore. Related to “forgiveness” is “reconciliation.” And “reconciliation” is the charism of the Congregation of the Missionaries of Our Lady of LaSalette (MS). It is a Congregation where Fr. Romy, MS and Fr. Joseph, MS, belong. It is an international religious congregation of priests and brothers, and was founded in response to the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at La Salette, France in September 19, 1846, to two children: Maximin Giraud and Melanie Calvat. The La Salette Missionaries were given a message: one of RECONCILIATION - a call to conversion, which we continue to spread in 25 countries scattered around the world. On September 19, 2017, we are celebrating the 171st Anniversary of the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette. Please join us as we joyfully remember the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette and live a reconciled and reconciling way of life. God bless you all! Fr.
